Ukraine's Ministry of Defense posted a video on May 5 that appears to show a destroyed Russian helicopter being pulled out of the water. The Russian Mi-35M helicopter was pulled from the water by a naval boat which towed the helicopter from the reservoir bed, before lifting it out with buoys. It's a pricey loss for Russia as the helicopter's list price is $36 million. It is intended for the destruction of armored vehicles, fire support for ground forces, landing and evacuations, as well as the transportation of goods.
